How a Yankee Boy Secured Position in
New York store.

Years ago, into wholesale grocery
store in this city, walked tall, muscu
lar-looking man, evidently a fresh
conner from some backwOOds town il
Maine or New Hampshire. Accosting
the first person he met, who happened
to be the merchant himself, he asked:
you don't want to hire man in
your store, do your
"Well." said the merchant, II don't
know. What can you do?"
'Do?" said the man. Il rather guess
1 can turn my hand to almost any thing,
What do you want done?'
''Well, if | were to hire man, il
would be one who could lift well-a
strong, why fellow; one, for instance,
that could shoulder II sack of coffee like
that yonder, and carry it across the
store, and never lay it down"
There now, Cap'n," said the coun-
tryman, that's just me, l can lift any
thing l can hitch to. You can't suit me
better. What will you give a man that
can suit youP'
"Tll tell you," said the merchant.
eff you shoulder that sack of coffee,
and carry it across the store twice,
and never lay it down, will hire you
for II year at hundred dollars a
month
''Doner said the stranger.
And by this time every clerk in the
store had gathered around, and was
waiting to join in the laugh against the
man, who, walking up to the sack,
threw it across his shoulder with perfect
ease, rs it was not extremely heavy,
and, walking with it twice across the
floor, went quietly to a large hook
which was fastened to the wall, and
hanging it up, turned to the merchant
and said:
There, now! it may hang there till
doomsday; l shall never lay it down
What shall go about, mister? just give
me plenty to do, and a hundred dollars {
month, and it's all right"
The clerks broke into laugh; but
the merchant, discounted yet salts
fed, kept his agreement; and to-day the
green countryman is the senior partner
in the firm, and worth million dollars

A new flower pot has been invented

wall there are holes through which the
water flows to moisten the earth. Water
Is poured III through aspout lIXed TO the

down deeper to find the moisture, and
surface roots are not so liable to be

Hat Would Have Had No Terrors.
The existence of whole nations of
gigantic persons may well be ques-
toned; but there can be no reasonable
doubt of the reality of certain individ-
uals, whose height has greatly ex-
ceeded that of men in general. The
giant as Il curiosity has been seen by
nearly every American boy in the mu-
scum and in the circus. The stories of
great giants of the past ages are more
than interesting. The exact height of
Og, the King of Bashau, has been fire.
quently given; some supposing him to
have been more than twelve feet in
height, while others think his stature
did not exceed eleven feet. In like
manner the giant Goliah, of the Bible,
is generally computed to have been
nine feet nine inches high; but COM
mentators suppose that he might have
been fully eleven feet.
The Emperor Maximinius was nine
feet in height, and several other Romans
of equal stature are said to have lived
during the reign of Augustus. Ac-
counts are contained in the philosophi
cal transactions of the Royal Society, of
human skeletons dug up in England,
measuring eight and nine feet in length.
These were probably the remains of
Romans. Many fabulous and contra
dictory stories have been told at one
time of the Patagonians who, according
to travellers, have been a race of giants.
he had measured the bones of men, in
sepulchres in South America, between
eleven and twelve feet high. Turner,
the naturalist, declares that he once saw
upon the cost of Brazil a race of gigantic
rsaraggss, one of whom was twelve feet
Tin height. The declaration of Turner is
all the more credible, by the statement
of M. Thevet, of France, who in his de-
scription of America, published in Paris
in 1875, asserts that he saw and meas
ured the skeleton of a South American
which was eleven feet five inches in
length. To these remarkable instances
may be added well-proportioned liv-
ing man, whom Diemarbrock saw at
Utrecht, measuring eight feet six
inches. Dr. Becamus, an ancient
scholar, reports having seen youth
of nine feet, man of ten feet and Il
woman of nine feet in height.
Walter Parson, who acted as porter
to King James l. of England, was seven
feet six inches in stature. But the
Chinese claim to have men among them
in the last century who were fifteen feet
high. However, this report may have
no more foundation than the chrome
logical fables of the sons of China
